I fitted Struts and Springs from a STi V6 Type R to my UK MY98 and it dropped it about 10mm.

Sounds right to me.
Sti is lower but also stiffer, and id miles better than a UK turbo if in good condition obviously.
Add Whiteline bars and a good alignment and the car will be very nice for the roads.

Just do the Right Thing and fit the whole Whiteline catalogue, demon alignment and realy see what the Impreza chassis can deliver!

your car is too high at the front for the rear ride height 911. you need more postive rake for max front end response.

it will, but it will understeer because the sport doesnt have a rear ARB, and you need that to balance out the spring/damper rates properly.
